The name is a play on words I suppose, but I am wondering if you guys have a universal tip or rule(s) you go by as you are working with your style.
While we are Dappered readers, I know from reading the threads and comments that there are a variety of styles here in our community.
So post a thing or two that you want other people to know that you think is something to consider or that is important to making your style. It can be a simple "No graphic T's," or "Logos are great, but only if they are smaller than a quarter coin." Or I would love to see something like, "Always throw a standout item or accessory in like a bold pattern pocket square."
Just kind of rules you like in your style rulebook, so to speak. Share as many little things as you'd like, or describe a whole bunch a ways that you make the outfits and purchases each day. Describe your style in its entirety if you want, from casual to formal.
My Style Rules:
I'll say first that I personally am not a big colors guy (unlike my roommate who has a closet full of neon American Eagle polos!), so I tend to keep fairly muted. I naturally find that I am pleased by a palette of blacks, whites, and grays, and the color range is pretty limited to navy, neutrals, and earth tones. My shoes are either classic brown leathers, black, gray, or white. I have exceptions like light blue oxfords and maybe the tie can be a color, but the most pattern you'll catch in my ties is from the knit pattern in some of them (I stick pretty solid on ties with only very fine pattern details at biggest). A common outfit would be a white buttoned up shirt, a black cardigan, off white-ish wheat or stone color chinos, and a pair of Frye Greene Lows( http://www.thefryecompany.com/mens-s...lace?color=DBN ).
So mine was pretty long, but that is a basic rule about my color schemes. I'd love to here a rule/tip or two from others. Love patterns? Bold colors? Leather? Ties or bow ties? Let us know!
Sorry if this thread exists. Did a search but didn't see it.
